5 ways to wear a scarf

Keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, these are wonderful accessories to brighten up any outfit.

  1. 1950s style hair wrap

With the point of the triangle over your forehead, bring the two ends up to tie a knot and then a 2nd knot. Push the triangle in to the middle of this double knot. Then tuck the two remaining pieces of fabric in at the top of your head.

2. Simple head scarf

Simply fold the scarf in half diagonally, take hold of the two corners, place over your head and tie in a single knot under your chin.
